  • TikTok has added a new ‘LIVE intro’ option which enables users to add a short text description to welcome new viewers as they come across a broadcast.

    The new LIVE Intro option, when switched on, will display a short explainer to viewers when they come into the stream. That could be a simple way to welcome viewers, and explain what the broadcast is all about, and what you would like them to do, as participants in the stream.

    Live-streaming is gradually become a bigger element of TikTok as it looks to broaden its horizons beyond short video clips.

    A key challenge with short clips is that they’re more difficult to monetise, because one can’t add mid or pre-roll ads into each specific upload, making direct monetisation a challenge.

    Live-streaming enables more capacity on this front, while TikTok is also exploring longer videos, on-profile shops, promo tiles, product showcase options and more.

    It’s a smaller element within that overarching push, but live-stream intros are another tool to help maximise opportunities, and get more creators spending more time, and making more money, in the app.
